| 2. |  | The Trouble With Normal: Sex, Politics, and the Ethics of Queer Life from Free Press Customer Review:  *The Trouble with Normal* is Warner's stance against gay marriage. Actually, it's more than that. Warner addresses normalcy and this is where he actually had interesting yet heady things to say. In order to challenge normalcy, Warner takes us through history to show us how shame has been attached to... |

| 3. |  | Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality: Gay People in Western Europe from the Beginning of the Christian Era to the Fourteenth Century from University Of Chicago Press Price: $15.64 Customer Review: John Boswell's work still stands as one of the foundational works of social history in the last three decades. While subsequent scholarship has further illuminated the topic, I still feel the breadth and depth of this work makes it time well spent. As Boswell notes: "Tracing the course of... |

| 4. |  | Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America (Between Men--Between Women) from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $12.24 Customer Review:  While this book is an asset in learning about lesbian history it is seriously lacking in connecting ideas and seperating fact from oppinion. While some points are made well there are some that are so far off that they devalue what ever point the author was trying to make. |

| 7. |  | Capote: A Biography from Da Capo Press Price: $13.36 Customer Review: This has to be the second worst book that I've read in along time. His flings and the details that the writer goes into aren't always that interesting. The writer does name names and some are a shock and make you think. However, saying that the book could of been pared down at least 75 pages by... |

It was captivating and compelling. Like many, I saw the movie first, but when I saw it was a true story, I simply had to have the book as well. I am glad I did. The book provided the... |

| 12. |  | The Transgender Studies Reader from Routledge Price: $80.00 Customer Review: It's huge (essential research for papers) but insanely expensive! (I guess if ya can afford SRS, what's a measly hundred bucks, eh. From "Biology = destiny" to "$ = destiny.") Very cool to have the "canonical" source stuff excerpted in one place but ... well, there's a huge postmodernist stamp... |

| 16. |  | Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe from Vintage Price: $11.53 Customer Review: In reviewing other reviews of this book, it's apparent that those approving of it / objecting to it are mostly people who approve of / object to same-sex marriage. Which tells us little about the book's veracity or validity. There are no truly neutral observers, simply variations in the degree... |

| 17. |  | The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde from Basic Books Price: $15.16 Customer Review: I admit that I knew very little of Oscar Wilde when I chose this particular book, at random. What an excellent choice for a novice as well as a Wilde devotee!

| 18. |  | What is Marriage For?: The Strange Social History of Our Most Intimate Institution from Beacon Press Price: $14.40 Customer Review: While E. J. Graff gives a broad social history of marriage, she does not delve deeply enough into the religious history of marriage which leads to errors in her arguments. From her book, one could conclude that the Catholic Church did not consider marriage to be a sacrament until the 13th century.... |
